So much misinformation in this video! The 3.7 replaced the base 3.5 non ecoboost as the standard motor in 14-15. The 3.5 Ecoboost is still available. I drive one with an Ecoboost and there is no lag, that's why it's a twin turbo. The only real problems we have with them is the water pumps go down around 90k but that effects all three engine choices. Never had one Issue with transmissions. Some of them smoked due to early problems with the PVC system, but that was remedied in a TSB. This Video is just bad!

I actually love my 2010 Taurus SEL AWD. I named her "Ophelia" My car is a beautiful, beast! My car is so pretty, I have to have my hair done and make up on before I drive her. Can't be lookin' a mess in my car. No food or drink allowed and no smokin either. Leather seats and a platinum paint job. I have every kind of insurance you can think of on her, I don't play. After 20 yrs of marriage and 3 kids, she's the one thing that's all mine. I'll rock her til the wheels fall off. Nice vid.

Too lazy to look everything up but there seems to be several incorrect things in this video... 1) There is no 2010-2012 Taurus Interceptor. They started with the 2013 refresh. 2) The Falcon was discontinued like 2 years ago. They don't make them anymore so the Taurus outlived it... 3) Pretty sure the 3.7 always came with AWD standard. The 3.5l Duratec was FWD. There's probably more things but I skipped most of the video.

I have a 2013 Interceptor with Ecoboost. 219,000 miles. I have replaced one fuel injector and just replaced the tranny. Still hits 150mph. Bone stock. Still love driving it

tell people about the Waterpump issues with the 3.5 AND the 3.7....its a 2500+++ job at the dealer,and that's only if you didn't blow the engine when the INTERNAL Waterpump lets go and dumps anti-freeze into the oil,in mass...that's why you can get a Taurus,and Exploder,I mean Explorer cheap,that's why most departments don't run them 60- 90k or so.I was at a Auction,in Maine,and found a repair receipt from Quirk Ford of Maine for 5170.00,for heads,and waterpump,timing chain !! they sent it through the auction 2k miles later! and I like Fords,I'm not hating,just spreading the word...so IF you buy one of these poorly designed loads,get ready for the Waterpump,timing chain,etc...I'm sticking with a rust free Crown Vic,or better yet,a well maintained Hemi Charger,even.Good luck,guys

So I have a 2013 Taurus SHO non pp and it's has 80k I have it tuned and modded. The car is a monster I haven't had any issues what so ever. And you say turbo lag? Even when my car wasn't tuned it shined at the bottom end no lag. But when I tuned it it woke up the animal zero lag and huge power. I put to shame srt8's mustangs etc.

I love my 2015 FPIS Taurus with the 3.7L V6 and it’s just as much fun as a Crown Vic, with one exception, you can’t beat that 4.6 V8 roar...

2016 is the last year for the Ford Falcon, btw. They no longer make them.

When I bought my last car, I wanted to get an ex police vehicle due to many reasons, just a couple being the maintenance always done on them, the heavy duty parts, and I love the way they look. I had to make a decision between a charger, impala, taurus, or crown vic. I ended up going with the crown vic because I love the way they look, I am 6'5 so I wanted something roomy, they are super comfortable, and I wanted a v8 as well. It is a 2008, I have put over 35k miles on it, have not had one issue with it. Gas mileage isn't amazing I mean its a v8 & the car weighs over 4000 pounds but its not horrible either. I drive pretty heavy footed most of the time and a decent bit of city driving - I normally average around 18-19 mpg. I love the fact that on the highway I can haul ass in the left lane, every single car gets over once I get behind them LOL (I still have the pushbar / spotlight on my car.) The AC in this thing will freeze me out even though where I live it frequently hits over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not the fastest car for sure, but I love the way the v8 sounds & it has enough power for me. I had a luxury vehicle before the vic (leather heated/cooled seats, sunroof, GPS navigation, push button start, etc) but honestly I just love the simplicity of my vic & the fact that it is so easy to work on. I plan on keeping this car for years to come and have never once regretted buying it!

Any idea how these hold up over time? I am looking at a 2013 with 145K miles on it and wondering if it will hold up like the crown vic when it reaches 200k+.

I have the Lincoln MKS with the ecoboost, sure enough at 70,000 the PTU (power transfer unit) for the AWD went out, $1,580 but no turbo lag. If you maintain the PTU by replacing the gear oil in it it'll be just fine. I found out the hard way. as for mods a tune from SSI tuning will put you at 12.6 in the 1/4

Known issues is for the 3.5 non eco boost, 3.7 and 3.5 eco boost they tend to have failing water pumps,transfer case and for the turboed one they can get bad also time and chains need to be replaced

You didn't substantiate any of your claims. The Ecoboost has so many mods and tunes to get to 400+ HP cheaply. The 3.7 has more chance of the water pump failing, which you don't mention. Seems more like you are suffering from Turbo envy.

I would not normally buy a Chevy, other than vintage. Meaning back when they had carburetors. But this was an unusual situation. It was my sisters car. She was in a really bad accident as a passenger in another car, and can no longer drive. I got her a van she can get her wheelchair in, and traded it to her for the Sonic, which she had no use for anymore. I got it with 51,000 miles. Admittedly it had been abused and neglected. The oil looked like thick black paint. It still had the original DEXKILL coolant in it. I changed the oil 10 times in 5,000 miles to clean out the engine, flushed out the DEXKILL and put regular coolant in it. I've had to replace almost $1200 worth of engine parts on it since I got it. I had to replace both the intake manifold (both made out of plastic) because the PCV valve failed, and the parts are built into the cam cover and manifold. Almost $400 for a PCV valve. I do buy Fords. I have an '06 Mercury Grand Marquis, a 1972 Pinto woodgrain wagon, and a 1964 Fairlane. But turbo cars in general tend to have problems. A turbo makes no sense unless it is for performance. The turbo Ecoboost engine is designed for MPG not power. The right way to get normal power out of an engine is to use more displacement. A lot more reliable.

My 2015 SHO has no turbo lag. Not sure what he is talking about.

What you’re saying doesn’t make sense. The 3.5L EcoBoost is still available, including on the Utility (Explorer). It also remains available on the civilian Explorer. The 3.7L has always been the standard engine. The 3.5L and 2.0L are more recently available engines. Of course the EcoBoost costs more to produce but it certainly isn’t “expensive “ for Ford to make given the hundreds of thousands of them produced for the civilian Explorer, Expedition, F-150, Flex, Taurus SHO, Lincoln MKS, MKT, etc. And the EcoBoost engines have been generally reliable. The 3.7L engines were the ones with CO leaks out the cracked manifolds, not the 3.5L EcoBoost engine. Realistically, this review should have been about the probable demise of the Interceptor Sedan and not about the EcoBoost engine.

Yes, get the 2.0 liter, work on these cars yourself; now with the 2.0 liter you may come across turbo issues and fuel delivery issues. The cars are built for getting you into another car on the dealer lot. Also, since most of the parts are Motorcraft that are breaking on it within a short time...when replacing parts get something else besides MotorCraft, I mean these are OEM parts that fail so why Would I buy that which failed before 50K miles. They say, "Oh, this cars having problems, why not buy a new one". That is the dealer you may have been taking it too and every time they fix it they break something to get you to sale it, trade it in, or buy another car from them on their lot where your car did not have problems before bringing it to them for a inspection check to stay compliant with the warranty BS...that is what happen to me at Opelika Ford in Alabama...Oil change and trying to find a noise....got the car back then the brakes went out driving from paying a bill at AT&T...they almost cause me to die... After that I never go to dealerships that will not allow me to see what they doing to my car. I'm paying them so I should be allowed to see WTF they doing. I stood at the door the entire time becasue it was clear and watched them doing extra stuff to my car I did not even ask for...later I needed something else, this is before stop going to them, the door was filmed covered to keep me from looking at them "work" on my car. They really hate when you wait on your car also.

The 3.7 is the same engine as the 3.5 ! A minor bore increase . BTW Ford stopped using the 3.7 in the Mustang you cannot get it currently. It’s 4 cyl ecoboost or 5.0. The problem with the 3.7 is the water pumps , they often take the engine out with them when they fail and even if they don’t it’s a 2000 dollar repair job easily ... they are anything but easy to work on ... maybe compared to the ecoboost version . As for the ecoboost police package it never should have been offered. Police service is too severe for a turbo gas application especially given many departments lack of proper maintenance the turbo version needs maintenance to be on time every time if it’s going to last long term. Finally the turbo lag is from heat soaking , cars sitting running for hours not moving and all the heat under the hood the turbo version has more piping and heat and the entire intake tract is heat soaked from the air filter to Intercooler it’s all going to lag until the car gets moving and moves that airflow and heat out the back, and cools the Intercooler off .

If getting keep an eye on the PTU. They tend to crap out because of the claimed lifetime fluid which is not.

As soon as you said “optional 3.7L”... you pretty much lost all credibility. The 3.7 is standard, and 3.5L EcoBoost is the option engine here. I’m no expert on these cars, but that much I know. You should probably edit or remove this video until you get your facts straight.. so people trying to do research on these vehicles before they make a purchase are actually getting correct information.

ANY Taurus is awesome! I love those cars!

If you don't have the right credentials you can't buy a police unit from Ford. You'll have to buy a used unit and you want one that was delegated to administrative use. Even though most municipalities have good service programs, the cars that are patrol units get run really hard they have loads of hours of run-time, particularly at idle which obviously doesn't show up as mileage.

WHY (!?!?) do people find it necessary to abuse cars, like when you were complaining about the Aussie's Falcon?

I really like American cars it's big and the voice of the motors is nice 💪💪💪

This car is a Ticking time bomb. Once the water pump goes, your engine is ruined. Do your research. They look kinda intimidating though.

The Police Interceptor 3.7 suffers from the same killer issue as other front wheel drive 3.5, 3.7 models. The timing chain driven water pump's shaft seals fail and allow coolant to enter the water pump shaft bearings, which quickly destroys them. Once the bearings start getting chewed up, the coolant can then bypass them into the timing chain splash area and down directly into the oil pan, Short time later, engine is destroyed because of lack of lubrication. Water pump replacement runs about $1500-2000 at a dealer. If you buy a used high mile or hour Ford 3.5, 3.7 front wheel drive vehicle, allow extra $ for this required repair.

Idk gotta call U out Have U driven any variations of of the 6th generation Taurus ? There's absolutely NO turbo lag on ecoboost Police, law enforcement vehicles are generally castrated by ecm detuning aka less output to add longevity & reliability. Law enforcement receive transmission ecm calibration & shift kits for later & harder shifts.

Ecoboosts have carbon deposit problems and turbo wear issues, as well as mentioned ptu and steering rack issue. Engine, trans and exhaust cooks all these components and causes early failure. Keep in mind ford covers NONE of these repairs.

Even I think those Ford Taurus Police Interceptors are great for Forza Motorsport 8 and Forza Horizon 5 coming soon to Xbox One. Even if I work for Ford fixing Crown Victoria's and Ford Taurus Police interceptors as that kind of possibility, I can settle for that all the time saving myself money on repairs and maintenance.

Really living both the classic vic look. Got my Marquis ofc. But I heard the Ford Taurus PPV gets 40mpg combined. Which means if I can catch it at a auction, CHEAP, FAST, FUN, RELIABLE(?)

The 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion Sport had this same engine. 3.5/ 3.7 H.O. Cyclone V6

Mine I use for work is the 3.5 non turbo AWD and a few days ago it just up and developed a 8 inch crack in the transfer case. Costs about$1,000 to $1,500 to fix.

I just bought this car for 2.500$. in my country water pump costs only 200$ so i think it is great car in this price 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the vid - i just picked up a '15 3.7 taurus - love it - any info on where to go for a center console? thanks to all

thinking about getting one $9,994 at 96,698 miles, 2014 one owner and used in a police department what are the cons to them if you have any also its a AWD 3.7L V6 and no accidents Sellers description: The interior is clean and in good condition. The exterior is clean and in good condition. The engine is functioning properly and has no issues. The transmission shifts very smoothly. The brakes are in great condition. The battery is in excellent condition. The car was previously owned by a non smoker. This vehicle had one previous owner.

@@c59997 Ex cop cars are known to have there issues. Depends if it’s a patrol car or detective car. The 3.7 is a great engine, but the water pumps can go bad. Ford redesigned the 3.7 to reduce that issue around 2012 I believe. The trans could have some issues with slipping. I would just be careful and pay close attention when test driving it!

Bring back the Crown, put it on an all wheel drive platform and drop a big bad ass V8 under the hood. Problem solved.

That last badass ( Reliable ) Ford V8 was the 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra. Those overhead cams with 7 foot long Torque robbing timing chains and bullshit UNrealiable plastic chain Tensioners are for the birds. Ford needs to refine that engine platform with a hollow cam shaft, high compression, individual Coil on plugs, direct injection, individual throttle bodies & aluminum heads with a iron block with Ecoboost graphite technology

I would still buy the CVPI but the FPIS is a good one to buy as well. I would never buy a FPIU because of carbon monoxide.

I don’t under anything you said, I couldn’t tell which car or which engine you were even talking about

I don't have a dog on this fight but just so you know you can plug a tuner into the 3.5 eco boost and get an extra 69 hp just by selecting premium fuel. Yeah the turbos will, the trans is crap and I've heard the AWD system isn't all that great either but you'll have a fast car for a little bit lol. The 3.7 also has thier own issues as well.

The water pump is driven by the timing chain. When they leak coolant gets into the oil which can destroy all bearing surfaces in the engine. Replacing the water pump requires engine removal.

There was never a 2010-2012 "Ford Taurus Police Interceptor." The Police Interceptor Sedan, as its officially known, did not become available until 2013.

I am looking at buying a 3.5 ecoboost taurus (TT) from an auction. It’s a 2013 with 130k on it. I am not sure how many idle hours yet (the plan is to look at it on Monday). What are common issues, what should I look for, and what are they worth?

Somebody said Ford might possibly continue the FPIS as a fleet car only after 2020.

The FPIS is discontinued as well as the civilian Taurus. The FPIS is replaced with the short lived Fusion Police Responder Hybrid Sedan. The FPRHS will be the last sedan Ford sells to law enforcement and the first hybrid to be built for law enforcement.

Is this satire? Turbo lag? There isn’t any. If you beat on either engine the transmission will give problems. Turbos don’t magically blow at 70k. The trick to make the ecoboost live is CHANGE THE FREAKING OIL. Every 5k or less. Also the way some departments drive them they tear up ANY car. Our local department was changing transmissions frequently on their crown Vic’s . The mechanics told me it was constant. They also said they had tried a few different high performance name brand units. That tells me it’s not the car it’s the driver.

Do yourselves a favor and get an AWD version. Very stable in the rain, not as spacious and not as much window visibility. Not as much cargo space but its a fun car. I got mine from MACC autos from NC or SC, I forgot which one.Very happy.

If you have a Taurus or any Ford 3.5L FWD vehicle, that is a HUGE job! They have to remove the engine, take off the timing chain, VVT stuff and all, just to get to the Water Pump. You will be looking at $1500-2000 for that service more than likely.

Does that mean the SHO with the 3.5 is a worse engine then the police interceptor 3.7? Which is faster?

So. a 3.7 liter has 305 hp vs a 3.5 liter having 365 Hp? Who would buy the 3.7?

So the regular Taurus is crap but this one with the 3.7 L is good?
